...JUAN DOMINGO PERÓN stepped from a chartered Alitalia DC-8 onto Argentine soil for the first time in 17 years last Friday, and into a steady rain. The weather was remarkably similar to that on the wet and dismal night in 1955 when he fled the country aboard an Uruguayan gunboat, after being ousted from power by a military coup.

...long runners. It is also one of the best. The audience thronging the school's 1,000-seat opera theater is as glittering as on any opening night at the Met. Besides students and opera buffs, it includes leading critics, top performers like Tenor Placido Domingo and Pianist Alexis Weissenberg, theatrical luminaries like Lillian Gish and Ben Gazzara, even an old nemesis, Sir Rudolf Bing...
